Irish Coffee

It's after 12:00 on a Saturday - I'm thinking it's ok to have an Irish coffee :) Because (a) they're yummy and I'm chilly (b) it's closing in on St. Patrick's day and it's waaaaay prettier than green beer, (c) it's coffee, whiskey, whipped cream and sprinkles - do you need a better reason? hahahha. Yum. 

This isn't the best picture because I don't have a pretty glass coffee mug for presentation - but it just looks like coffee with whipped cream and sprinkles so there isn't much else to show you! 

You can vary the amounts to your liking, here's a basic recipe:

• hot black coffee
• 1 1/2 ounces Irish whiskey (Jameson's would be appropriate for St. Patrick's!) 
• 2 teaspoons brown sugar
• whipped cream

Put the sugar in the bottom of a mug, pour a little hot coffee over and stir until dissolved. Add the whiskey, then fill the mug with coffee leaving a gap at the top for the whipped cream. Top with the cream, add sprinkles if you're feeling festive!
